Ordinance 44011
ORDINANCE NO. 4401
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, AMENDING THE CITY’S OFFICIAL STREET
MAP AS IT PERTAINS TO 75TH PLACE W.
WHEREAS, the city maintains an official street map to protect future public rights-of- way
from encroachment pursuant to RCW 35A.63.100(1); and
WHEREAS, the official street map is actually a collection of maps on file with the public
works director; and
WHEREAS, any changes to the official street map are made by ordinance, except that the
map may be changed administratively to reflect dedications accepted by the city council; and
WHEREAS, proposed changes to the official street map are processed as a Type V
application pursuant to chapter 20.65 ECDC; and
WHEREAS, City of Edmonds received an official street map amendment (AMD2024-
0007) requesting to remove the required ten foot street dedication on the west side of 75th Pl W,
adjacent to 15730 75th Pl W; and
WHEREAS, the city’s official street map indicates a desired sixty-foot right-of-way at that
location; and
WHEREAS, the official street map amendment would reduce the potential overall 75th Pl
W right-of-way from sixty feet wide to fifty feet wide; and
WHEREAS, this amendment was presented to the planning board on May 28, 2025; and
WHEREAS, it was also noted at that time there were two other properties in the vicinity of
the subject application that were subject to street dedication per the official street map – 15730 and
15604 75th Pl W; and
WHEREAS, staff’s analysis in review of AMD2024-0007 (15700 75th Pl W) and
subsequently 15730 and 15604, has concluded that the dedication areas fall entirely within steep
slopes and are not needed for the purposes of travel lanes, sidewalk or public utility infrastructure;
and
WHEREAS, requiring a dedication of property as a condition of permit approval requires
a showing of nexus and proportionality, which would be difficult to show for development on
these three properties; and
WHEREAS, the council committee considering this matter expressed some interest in
reducing the width of this right-of-way along the entire west side of 75th Place W from North
Meadowdale Road all the way to the end of the road; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHING TON, DO ORDAIN

of-way designation for the westerly ten feet of75th Place W lying north of the intersection of North

described in Section l, above, on the city's official street map.
